Answer:

y = -2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line is y = -2x.  Use the form y = mx + b and substitution to find your answer.

The problem already gave you the slope, and m represents the slope.

y = -2x + b

The problem also gave you one point.  Substitute the x and y values of that point into the equation.

Point: (2, -4)

-4 = -4 + b

b = 0

Using basic algebra, we found that there is no b value. b equals 0.  So all we have to write is y = -2x.

Answer:

y = - 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - 2, thus

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (2, - 4) into the partial equation

- 4 = - 4 + c ⇒ c = - 4 + 4 = 0

y = - 2x ← equation of line

Find the surface area of the cylinder in terms of pi
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

<u>A≈301.44</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a cylinder is A=2πrh+2πr^2

You first do the first problem of the equation (A=2πrh)

You fill in the radius and height ( A=2π(4)(8) )

You first multiply 4 x 8 = 32. ( A=2π(32) )

Then you multiply 2 x 32 = 64. ( A=π(64) )

Then you multiply π x 64 (using 3.14 for π) = 200.96 m^2

You then do the second part of the equation. (A=2πr^2)

You fill in the radius. (A=2π(4)^2)

Then multiply 4 x 4 = 16 (because it's to the power of 2 [4 times itself twice]) and then multiply it by 2.

16 x 2 = 32. ( A=π(32) )

Next you just multiply 32 x π (using 3.14 for π again) = 100.48 m^2.

Then you just add them together:

200.96 m^2 + 100.48 m^2 = 301.44 m^2

So <u>301.44 m^2</u> is your answer.

(I hopefully think it is.)

(#5) A carpenter has two different-sized circular saws. The smaller saw has the radius shown. I couldn't show it, so it is 1.25
grin007 [14]

Answer:

4.71 in. difference

Step-by-step explanation:

so, the radius of the smaller saw is 1.25 and the diameter is double the radius. so it is 2.5 in diameter. the larger saw is 1.5 in greater which is 4 in.

to find circumference, you have to use the solution C = πd or circumference = pi x diameter.

3.14 x 2.5 = 7.85

4 x 3.14 = 12.56

subtract 7.85 from 12.56 to get your answer! i hope this helps!
